    Best quote ever "If you use it enough to break it, then move on to something better". Wish I would have heard that years ago, ha!

      @R D .. just bought one from princess auto. Seems heavy duty. Should last a long time as I don’t use it everyday. On sale from $50 to $30.. 👍🏻

    Bro you definitely should have more subscribers. Great video, CLEAR AUDIO with no music blasting over poor audio, and great editing too. You also have a great voice n personality to match, so keep grinding the content out.
    Best of luck!

    Just learning how to wrench my own car. Since I'm 200# and was 5' 8" before a life of moving freight had something to say about that...
    Thanks for the advice about buying low at first and better when it breaks. The HF is advertised at $40. I can use the $100+ I save on parts.

    Great review! Watched another reveiw and was only told about it specs. I weigh 250lb. but will only use it to change my oil once every six months. was going to buy a more expenisve creeper, but you made up my mind with an excellent reveiw. Was woried about being able to reach tools in the tool holders, but if you can do it so can I. I will buy the Habor Freight creeper. Thank you.

      I weigh 230 at 5'10". I bought a Pittsburgh just like the one in the video and both center wheels broke on me the 1st time I used it. It is super comfy and I like the tool holders too but still a waste of money!

    I just got the Lisle jeepers creeper which is the same thing for less $ and only paid $24.32 with several discounts and price match stuff. I was originally looking at the Pittsburgh HF creeper but to many problems with casters busting so I went with a better quality creeper.
    I appreciate all the videos you are doing. Their are giving us real world opinions of tools and such so thank you.
    On a side note I wonder if the company I work for ATD delivers tires to you? I work at the Nampa, Idaho branch. I just seen several brands we sell in you shop.

  • @scoobydog411
    @scoobydog411 4 года назад +2

    So what your saying is a Normal size guy might not have any problems with it. Does Matco Say Made in America? Both those might be made in the same company.

    • @thetiregaragetv
      @thetiregaragetv  4 года назад

      I don't think they are made by the same makers. The material feels different. Matco is a lot sturdier. And yes, for a normal size guy the Pitts might be good enough. I'm oversized lol so I need something stronger.

    I’m 220 and the Pittsburg or any other brand built the same split at the seams and fold the caster.
    Currently building one out of tubing, plywood and larger casters. Tired of the crap.

    Tried the harborfreight and it broke on me also. My garage has seams in the concrete floor and the casters kept on getting caught in them. One of the casters broke off after three or four uses.

    To be fair to you, the Pittsburgh IS rated for 300 Lbs. Man this sucks tho, cause the dragging is the main problem I have right now with my current creeper from Autozone (which was also rated for 300Lbs). I’m 6’2” 300-315 Lbs, so I’m looking for a creeper that can hold me without dragging ass on the floor/cement/asphalt. The Pittsburgh looked like it might be the one...now I might skip that also. I’m a DIY guy so it’s nearly impossible to justify spending $150+ on a creeper. I might just end up making my own...with some steel corner braces and 3/4” plywood. It’s just gonna be heavy...
